Abstract
We show that Ravenel's spectrum is the versal --algebra of characteristic . This implies that every --algebra of characteristic admits an -ring map , i.e. an complex orientation of degree 2. This implies that . Additionally, if is an -ring Thom spectrum admitting a map (of homotopy ring spectra) from , e.g. , its topological Hochschild homology has a simple description.
